Cars - flipping annoyances

Sorry to anyone stuck in traffic on the flyover in Alty this evening. That was me who broke down right at the foot of the flyover!

My car died, and has now been fucked off for good.

I’m now a bus wanker and biclist ongoing.


By the way I was stuck there for 40 mins and only one person asked if I needed help!

In my experience I've had 2 VW's. First one had issues with the Catylic converter? Second has been fine, but caught up in the emissions scandal.

My missus had a Vauxhall and it was utter crap. Constant issues despite the car being brand new.

We had a Vauhaul Zaphira, first service in the book was at 9k. Got a call from the client ....loosing power, turned out to be the camshaft and no oil. Vauxhall tried to blame it on us and said oil should have been changed at 1500 miles ( which sounded reasonable for a new diesel ). No record of such service in the service manual......they eventually honoured it and sorted it out.
 
Had a light out on a Ford Ka recently (it was a desperate buy) looked up how to change a bulb and it appearead you needed hands like Jack Skelington to do it. I watched a youtube vid where the bloke jacked up and took the tire off in order to complete the job, anyway went to Halfords and it cost me 16 quid for a magician to do it in less than 30 seconds
 
However take one of these old bastards from the 70's

Its just I took my Renault in last week for brake pads -I jokingly apologised for buying French and he pointed to a MINI in the yard and ( for a guy who doesn't normally swear ) he said " don't ever buy one of them cunts they are fucking shite compared with yours" - I took that as sage advice lol
